the house where Eminem lived as a teenager — at 19946 Dresden in northeastern Detroit, a couple of blocks south of 8 Mile Road — is for sale.

Well, not really for “sale,” exactly. It’s essentially free to any folks who can make a good case for how they’d take care of it. There’s no minimum bid, which means you could have it for $1 via an online application to the public Michigan Land Bank (parcel number 21034756). Or, as Curbed Detroit bluntly words it: “Because they’re the saddest properties imaginable, MLB listings are open to bids of any dollar amount.”
